A comprehensive list of attack planners, extremeists, operatives, wanted terrorists, and others that have been captured or killed since 1995.

Foreign Terrorist Organizations

Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended. FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business.

Have Suspicions?

Theses sites are mostly for people living in the United States. Other countries maintain their own lists of fugitives and suspect groups. Residents of other countries should consult their own law enforcement agencies.

Rewards for Justice

The Rewards for Justice Program, established by the 1984 Act to Combat International Terrorism, has developed into a global, interagency effort led by the Department of State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

State Sponsors of Terrorism

State sponsors of terrorism provide critical support to many non-state terrorist groups. Without state sponsors, these groups would have greater difficulty obtaining the funds, weapons, materials, and secure areas they require to plan and conduct operations. The United States will continue to insist that these countries end the support they give to terrorist groups.
